Underlining the telecom revolution made by India by joining select countries where 5G facilities have been introduced, Singh assured the people of expanding the IT and telecom facilities to every nook and corner of the North Eastern states.

 

“This will ensure economic development, good governance and public welfare. I have full faith that due to the hardworking nature of the young generation of North East, and the facilities given by the government for Ease of Doing Business, the North East region is moving towards a golden future’, the Defense Minister said.

The efforts of the people of the North East have a very important role to play in the motto of our government, Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas,” he added
